On Wednesday (local time), Dunamu, the blockchain and fintech firm overseeing Upbit, South Korea’s leading cryptocurrency exchange, announced that Upbit has achieved the ISO 22301 certification.
This global standard evaluates a company’s business continuity management system (BCMS), specifically assessing its ability to protect against and respond to disruptive events.
The certification, obtained from the U.S. International Accreditation Service (IAS) on November 6, underscores Upbit’s dedication to security and resilience.
ISO 22301 Certification: Ensuring Business Stability and Mitigating Risks
The ISO 22301 certification specifically gauges a company’s proficiency in sustaining continuous and stable business operations by effectively addressing prevention, response, and recovery in the face of accidents, natural disasters, and other unforeseen events.
The certification offers several advantages. It serves as evidence of compliance with legal requirements. Additionally, it positions the company as a competitive player in the market. Moreover, it helps mitigate the potential for substantial damage.
Companies aspiring to attain this certification must proactively prepare for unforeseen disruptions by assessing the potential impact on business operations and establishing recovery timelines.
Implementing relevant policies to expedite recovery is a prerequisite for certification. Furthermore, enterprises must undergo an annual follow-up audit and a renewal audit every three years to maintain the certification.
